Chaiyo,

I used to drink the biggest frapuccino daily...okay lah didn't put on weight.

I also want your recipe..i can't bake desserts.I can only make choc chip cookies..i have the famous amos and neiman marcus recipe.

dodo,

I dont normally measure when i cook..

Roughly is

4 to 6 tbsp dark soy sauce
2 tbsp light soy sauce
2 tbsp oyster sauce
2 tbsp cooking wine.

Add brown sugar if u find this recipe abit salty but it shld be fine becos japanese cooking wine is sweet and the big white onion makes it sweet as well

STnov,

Your neck have to grow longer leh..
My skin condition is somewhat okay now but still red, dry and sensitive...meet you girls when it gets better...i think shld be very soon.

 

[stnov]

Thanks a zee Chaiyo for ur recipe......njoy d comfort of ur new home!!!

 

[waterbaby]

Sent you girls the Neiman Marcus one.This recipe is toted to be the best..i've tried it and it's good.

The oven temperature in the recipe is in fahrenheit so please convert accordingly..

Famous Amos one is with my mother now..will ask her abt it.

Chaiyo,

Received and thanks!

When you moving in?

STnov,

Yup.Very excited to meet up too!

What do u cook normally?Very curious what other hokkiens cook daily leh..

 

[stnov]

hey amelia......my dishes r realli simple thou once in a while will try out new 'recipes'..... having said tat mi dun look at recipes physically so most of d time experiment wif diff food & seasonings.......


one of d simply irresistable would be soup unless we r having porridge otherwise would definitely have a soup.....kekeke

i oso like steam eggs, fish (sweet & soup, dark soya sauce, steamed wif black beans, steamed wif chilli sauce, assam etc), sliced pork wif onions & dark sauce, sliced pork wif baked beans & d list goes on..........

juz to share......try out spaghetti wif canned 'zhu jiao' or 'pai gu' instead of bee hoon.....u will b surprised at d taste....

sorli abit long winded liaoz......

 

[coolman]

hi amelia n chaiyo,

tks for the recipes.

hmm.. amelia, will i b able to buy instant espresso coffee powder at ntuc?? as i dun drink n never buy coffee powder so i need ur advice where to get the espresso coffee powder..

normally when u bake the cookie, u set the temp to how hot??

i never done any baking since my home economics.. haha..

 

[waterbaby]

STnov,

Thanks!You gave me some ideas.Haven't tried sliced pork and baked beans...will try it.I have tried with sweet peas instead..really good expecially when you add potatoes, onions and some dark soy sauce.

Eggs you can try frying with tomatoes instead of minced pork.Those ripe and sweet ones will be good.I learnt this from a cantonese lady.My husband likes this dish too.

Steamed fish with chilli sauce?You mean those maggi sweet chilli sauce?You do eat a lot of fish hor?hehehe

One thing about us hokkiens is that we eat a lot of dark soy sauce haha but it's soooo tasty!I go through dark and light soy sauce very quickly.

Canned zhu jiao and pai gu is my hub's favourite.

Serene,

I don't know whether this NTUC has the expresso one..maybe you can try NTUC lot1 or Sheng Siong.

300 fahrenheit is 150 celsius.

 

[stnov]

thanks Amelia for ur recipe ya.....

refresh my memory wif ur fried egg & tomato cos my hb simply luv fried egg wif minced meat & onions....haiz....

agree on d dark soya sauce part.....it seems tat we hav d perception so long as it's dark....it's yummy...kekeke

steamed fish wif chilli sauce doesnt mean bottled maggi sauce but it could b tose in jar form like belachan, chicken rice chilli....sumthg of tat nature...and yes i admit tat i 'kill' alot of fishes into our stomach....

seems like blursotong oso missing in action huh.....

 

[waterbaby]

Yah my husband also loves minced meat and eggs.Maybe it's also a hokkien thing haha...we eat a lot of meat.And hokkien dishes are mostly black black de..

Have you tried chicken egg foo yong( Foo Rong dan)?Very nice leh and it's something special.Let me know if you want the recipe.

Steamed fish with belachan is something different..must try one day.

I am quite lucky my hub gives me freedom to experiment different cuisine.Tomorrow, I am trying something american.I plan to make lemon-herb roasted chicken thighs , baby potatoes and salad.

 

[stnov]

Amelia....sidetrack abit....u mentioned b4 tat ur seeing a derm....any feedback???

dear galz.....anyone can recommend an effective eye cream for dark circles??? have tried quite a few but in vian.....haizzz!!!

 

[waterbaby]

I like my current derm..much better than NSC ones.

Is yours hereditary?You tried whitening prdts?

Emailed you regarding derms.

 

[coolman]

hi amelia


see my 1st product..

keke..


dunno where went wrong. my cookies were still soft soft after in the oven for 10mins on 180 celsius. i have to bake for another 15mins to make the cookies crispy. mayb i put too much or less on one of the incredients. But i followed the instructions leh.. hmm...

 

[stnov]

thks amelia.....will go chk my email!!!

 

[waterbaby]

you used the correct flour?..1 stick of butter is american measurement...did u convert accordingly?

U used baking measuring cups?

 

[waterbaby]

STnov,

how's the derm visit?

 

[stnov]

amelia,

mi haben go yet.....juz curious on which aspect is ur consultation.....

 

[waterbaby]

"juz curious on which aspect is ur consultation"

You mean why did i consult my dermatologist?
I was having persistant mild breakout when i came bk to sg so i went to him for some medication.

Hi everyone,

I have just bought bikes to cycle around the estate. It is really fun to cycle around CCK. It is a good form of exercise too. Next week, we plan to cycle to the farms. If anyone has bikes, we can arrange to go cycling in groups.

hi collin

we rom in yr 2004 and we took our own sweet time to secure a flat and now start to prepare for our AD in yr 2007.. all in all take us 3 yrs to save up for a wedding.. hiaz if only we r loaded we wouldnt wait for long and everything will be come in a shot keke

Hi Stnov

reason for being gettin a JB BS is that we believe there sure have more money invest in choosing additional weddin pix and can estimated up to 6-7k lor.. worry money constraint keke.. furthermore photoshoot in JB give us a "oversea" feel haha.. just our point of view lah

 

[wilest]

hi stnov

reason for being gettin a JB BS is that we believe there sure have more money invest in choosing additional weddin pix and it can easily reach up to SGD 6-7k for a wedding pkg lor.. worry money constraint keke.. furthermore photoshooting in JB give us a "oversea" feel haha.. just our point of view lah

 

[apache68]

hi stnov, okie lah.. ard $3K+ for everything lor..

and GH got fren intro one.. so got it at a better bargain.. but no discount on price though..

hi wilest, mi oso lor.. everything come at 1 shot, reno, ROM, chinese customary.. wah.. stress man..

 

[stnov]

sure do agree wif U wilest...tats why we tell ourselves wen it cums to photo selection...gota exert serious willpower liaoz.....

end of d day...it doesnt matter whr & which BS u took...more imptly d end products are satisfactory & njoying d process....btw have u shortlist any banquet venue....my greatest headache lei.....

 

[coolman]

hey wilest,

hihi Collin_Eileen

ya i guess many brain cell dried off too hehe.. but the process is njoyable one

how ya preparation so far? which blk u stay? Im at blk 659 hehe

Hihi STnov
ya lor but i most afraid i dun have that will power so will make sure my BS pkg allows me to either get back all negatives or pixs in cdrom de hehe

and oso agree with u too that afterall is the after sale service and end pdt are wat most of us lookin for.. not forgettin minimum or no hiccup will be appreciated during the partnership with any BS too hehee..
Banquet venue!!! kinda lost to decide which one suit our criteria so far shortlisted: holiday inn atrium, amara, orchid country club and carlton. Right now workin out on the no. of table we want coz some hotel ballroom cant accomodate certain capacity. HIA wedding dinner has raised too which is one of my regret for not signing up with them last yr

care to share urs too?

hihi Serene
